Man, I wish I could buy milk at the library!

Not really.

Mac and I went to the dentist. I mentioned to them that I had still never got the fillings they said I need last time, so they just did them today. I had not planned on being all numb faced. Trying to drink now, an hour later, still difficult.

I went to the eye doctor and got prescriptions for new glasses and new contacts. The doctor said that I was seeing 20/20 with my old glasses, but I've felt like I've been having a lot of trouble seeing things with them, like enough so that I wasn't really comfortable driving. The place that promises glasses ready in an hour "in most cases" tells me that my glasses will be ready in ten days.

The new Japanese place at the mall is having its grand opening! Tasty sushi—about middling in quality between the other two places in town—that's very cheap and served in giganto portions. (I do not normally allow seafood to remain on my plate at the end of a meal.)

They also made the wise choice of assigning me the exceedingly cute young waiter who was flustered about it being his first day and super-eager to make sure everything was right since he'd just had to comp meals at the next table over. I tipped extremely generously in lieu of bending him over the table, which would have been my preferred choice had said table not been kind of shaky.

I had to argue with my eye doctor to get him to even give me a prescription. Dude, just cuz I can read that line doesn't mean it's not blurry.

I feel accomplished. Two odd 2x4's were screwed to the dining room wall (frame from the dishwasher that is now in the attic?) and the screws were buried deep in the wood and the heads stripped. Drilled the heads off and ripped the wood off the threads (sans prybar!) and hacksawed off what I couldn't unscrew with pliers. I can paint there now!!!

Oz and I just killed a huge moth. I screamed like a girl and Oz is a great hunter. He was trying to eat it though, and I wouldn't let him. I gave him treat instead.

See, Jilli? It's not just *me*

It's 88 degrees here again. One of you sun-worshipers invited the Evil Orb to visit again, didn't you? There'll be smiting - oh yes, there will be smiting, but only after I've grown a new epidermis.

I still have way too much to do. I really should have cleaned before. Have trash to take out, and vacuuming and mopping and putting away and cleaning out the car and ACK. They get in at 11.

I just got back from the bookstore. It's nice and sunny out, and it seems like everyone was in the mood for book shopping, because we were steady-to-busy all day long! It's nice to see people still buying beach books (lots of paperbacks sold) and books for their kids. And everyone seemed to be in a good mood, too!

Now for an early dinner (Brown's fried chicken--yummy!), and then cleaning and laundry tonight, after I do the dishes and take out garbage.
